Injecting end-user security during software design and development is a game changer. A lot of security breaches especially Phishing stem from unintentional security mishaps by an authorized end-user. That is why Computer Weekly published an article about ongoing end-user security awareness training to prevent such incidents. If the end-user is aware of potential security problems during the conceptual stages, it can prevent a whole slew of issues that would have been otherwise problematical in the future. This article talks about adding one of the most important tenets of security, prevention over cure. Having end-users aware of potential dangers removes the possibility of inadvertently creating security gaps that hackers can exploit.– Miyagi Kazuki

In an increasingly fast-paced, complex, and ambiguous business world, competing on a landscape dominated by the continued evolution of digital channels and mobile devices, the only tractable strategy is to adapt to survive. Driven by the exponential speed of change, organizations must wrap their arms around DevOps if they hope to defend and expand their market opportunities.

Why Do DevOps? The competitive advantage this capability creates is enormous, enabling faster feature time to market, increased customer satisfaction, market share, and employee productivity and happiness, as well as allowing organizations to win in the marketplace. Why? Because technology has become the dominant value creation process and an increasingly important (and often the primary) means of customer acquisition within most organizations. In contrast, organizations that require weeks or months to deploy software are at a significant disadvantage in the marketplace.

In this white paper, we will discuss that enterprises can spin up cloud applications way faster if they adopt and instill the CloudOps culture within their organizations, which extends the DevOps principles of continuous operations, monitoring and improvement to cloud. Getting operations right is key to success in cloud, especially in an IoT era where data from each device is relayed to cloud to be further combined with data from other devices, with interactions across multiple clouds.
